36. Faciunt favos et vespae; faciunt ecclesias et
Marcionitae, is the strong expression of Tertullian, which I
am obliged to quote from memory. [Adv. Marcion, iv. 5] In
the time of Epiphanius (advers. Haereses, p. 302 [ed. Paris,
1622]) the Marcionites were very numerous in Italy, Syria,
Egypt, Arabia, and Persia.
